I used to hang out in the uk.net.web.authoring newsgroup, although I haven't
so much recently. Don't know any mailing lists though.

If I understand you correctly, you effectively just want a random piece of
content served each time the script is run. Basically this should be very
simple eg I think this should work in php:
<html>
<head><title>Random content</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>...Your page layout / chrome etc...</p>
<?php
$randomNumber=rand(0,2);
switch($randomNumber) {
case 0:
echo "Blah1";
break;
case 1:
echo "Blah2";
break;
case 2:
echo "Blah3";
break;
}
?>
<p>..More layout stuff...</p>
</body></html>
That's the basics of what you're asking for, although there are lots of
options for complicating it, eg. putting your content in a database,
remembering users etc.
